If you have a life-threatening medical condition, call 000 and request an ambulance.
If you have an urgent medical condition you can also come to our Emergency Department.
Our entrance is located at the eastern end of the main hospital building on Robin Warren Drive off Murdoch Drive, Murdoch. Our Emergency Department operates 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

If you are coming into our Emergency Department, if possible please bring with you:
- your Medicare Card
- any other entitlement cards (health care, pension, veterans, safety net)
- your passport/health insurance details (overseas visitors/students)
- private health insurance details (if you want to be admitted as a private patient)
- a list of your current medications
- any x-rays/ultrasounds/scans that may be related to your condition
- your employment contact details if your condition is covered by Workers’ Compensation
- the name of your General Practitioner (GP).
Please be aware that patients are seen in order of illness severity, and not in order of attendance. If another patient comes to the Emergency Department with a more serious condition, you will be required to wait. We thank you for your patience and understanding.
